Optimus could still take over the world. tesla teslabot
Anyone scared that robots will take over the world can take solace in the face the newly revealed Tesla robot looks quite easy to knock over – at least for now. Elon Musk finally unveiled the Tesla robot at the company's AI Day event, and the internet has been quick to make fun of the unstable-looking humanoid. But we may still eat our words.
Tesla's robot is called optimus. Yes, like Optimus Prime, and no, it doesn't transform, sadly. But it can wave, walk and dance . But before we mock, we should remember that this prototype for the AI-powered robot was made in barely a year, and while Optimus doesn't look steady on its feet, it's pretty nifty with a watering can, as Musk shows in the video below .
For many, Optimus watering plants will conjure up C-3PO, Marvin the Paranoid Android or Kryten from Red Dwarf. Optimus takes very tentative steps for now, but Musk revealed that Tesla plans to eventually produce"millions" of them. They'll initially be intended for employment on production lines – yes, Optimus is out for the last remaining factory jobs – but may eventually make it to household use for anything from cleaning to cooking. At least that's the plan.
Tesla's CEO revealed two versions of Optimus at the event on Friday. A deconstructed prototype that bust some moves, and then a"close to production" version that"isn't quite ready to walk". Musk said of the former that is was first time it had walked untethered. It seems unlikely that Musk would take that risk at such a public event, but he did seem to mean it when he said he hoped Optimus didn't"fall flat on its face".
Twitter was quick to poke fun."He's walking like he doesn't want to wake you since he's been out all night driving your Tesla and hanging out with his robot pals," one observer commented."Tesla's robot waves but can't walk, yet. What could possibly go wrong?" someone asked.
